Group Intervention Description Vorinostat/Topotecan topotecan, vorinostat Vorinostat/topotecan dose escalation regimen. vorinostat is administered orally once a day for 7 to 14 consecutive days, according to the dose level.Topotecan is administered I.V. for 5 consecutive days every three weeks. Vorinostat dose levels go from 300 mg/day for 7 days to 400 mg/day for 14 days. Topotecan dose levels go from 1,2 mg/m2 to 1,5 mg/m2
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum tolerated dose of the combination as the recommended dose for phase II trial [Phase I]; objective response rate of the combination [Phase II]; toxicity and safety profile of the combination [Phase II] Limiting tolerated dose (Phase I); efficacy/toxicity after the inclusion of the last patient (Phase II)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the antitumor activity of the combination in terms of time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) [Phase II] After the follow up period
